A rambler is a rambler is a rambler!!! Except the AMX which was a fast rambler.

I seem to recall the Peterson museums ex McQueen Jag XKSS having an estimated value upward of $30,000,000. How does Hagerty feel about that?

Lovely story. It will bring more smiles in the paddock than those million dollar land yachts parked next to it.

That is quite wrong. Two cars hitting head on at 60mph each experience the equivalent of a 60 mph crash into a solid barrier. This has been proven in repeated tests.

This is what Tim Horton died in driving home to Buffalo On the QEW in Vineland Ontario. Great hockey player, not such a great driver.

Support the country that houses you?? By buying what ??

The unions and beancounters are totally responsible for killing off most of the british car industry. The few marques that still exist do so in name only while it's nearly impossible to keep track of which foreign company owns what.

Some of the most exciting racing anywhere is to be found watching E types, D types, Listers and Shelbys duke it out on 5 1/2 inch wide tyres. I love F1 but theres something special about 2 or 3 drivers you've never heard of drifting side by side at the absolute limit. Maybe F1 needs 6" wide bias racing tyres and no aero instead of manipulated finishes to fix a championship.

In 1990 I took delivery of the only new pickup I have ever owned. A F350 supercab with 7.3 litre International diesel putting out 170hp, 345 lb/ft torque, 5 speed ZF manual , limited slip rear end and cloth buckets and electric this and that which I didn't really want. After taking it back to the dealer the next day with a list of 20 or so problems including out of round rear drums, non functioning limited slip etc. I eventually put 220,000 miles on it, averaging 16 to 18 mpg . That's the real 160oz Gal. I now have a Mercedes GLK250 with a 2.1litre compound turbodiesel putting out 200hp, 385lb/ft of torque which when combined with a 4x8 aluminum utility trailer will do 99% of what I did with the Ford in great comfort while getting nearly 50mpg. When I look at new pickups today I have to assume the owner is 5'4" and compensating for some serious inadequacies.

Never quite understood the appeal of fake wood sides on a car. Wouldn't you want fake wooden wagon wheel hubcaps to complete the picture?

Volvo P1800ES. Aston Martin DB5 estate Just askin'

A hyundai is a hyundai is a hyundai. I don't care what they call it.

Navy has the best toys !

I remember in the late 70's a fellow in Burlington Ontario with a Delorean plated COKE 1. I hope he still has it!

The serial number plate is "the car". Everything else is just just parts that are all replaceable!

PRScott · ‎25-03-2022

Put it back on when the work is done

PRScott · ‎18-03-2022

Naw , you probably did the right thing. You still have the GT350 and the E-Type right?

PRScott · ‎15-03-2022

That would be petrol plus vehicle.

PRScott · ‎15-03-2022

That is the same wheel arrangement used by reliant in the UK and it was horribly unstable. So bad that they put small skids at each front corner.

PRScott · ‎11-03-2022

Kinda sad when the odometer is the most valuable part on the car.

PRScott · ‎11-03-2022

I wish they'd quit calling them minis. They weigh about triple what the real thing did. Ask a new mini cooper owner about John Cooper and you'll get nothing but a vacant look.

That lime green looks like something a Lamborghini owner would order. But that's just me.

It's only fitting that Mazepin , who has benefitted enormously from Putin's crimes be banned from F1 His father has already unsuccessfully tried to take over a chemical and fertilizer plant in Odessa, Ukraine. This will undoubtedly be gifted to Mazepin sr. after the war as thanks from Putin for Mazepin's continued loyalty. He is already one of the wealthiest oligarchs in Russia. AKA Russian mafia don

Couldn't help but cheer for the Peterbilt.

PRScott · ‎04-03-2022

Funny to see the words slant six and powerhouse in the same sentence

PRScott · ‎04-03-2022

It was a clapped out Dodge. It couldn't out run an electric wheelchair!

PRScott · ‎02-03-2022

Oh, they could make it legal but by making it just a teeny bit dirty the mileage could be as high as 60 miles per gal.(That's a real gallon not a US gallon)

PRScott · ‎28-02-2022

Who knew? We can still learn. Thanks

PRScott · ‎25-02-2022

Sure you can. Just click your heels , spin around and say I didn't see that 3 times.

PRScott · ‎25-02-2022

It's an abortion. Like most of Barris' Kustom Krap!

PRScott · ‎24-02-2022

This has been an annual sport in Quebec for many decades.

PRScott · ‎23-02-2022

Whatever!

PRScott · ‎21-02-2022

Out of the mouths of fools!

Looks like something most space cadets would drool over.

PRScott · ‎11-02-2022

You really want to drive a Pinto?!

PRScott · ‎04-02-2022

So get out your checkbook. It's only money.

PRScott · ‎02-02-2022

That is serious patina. It just reeks of character. Or maybe it's the mold and moss .I'd drive it!

PRScott · ‎31-01-2022

What he did with it makes him a legend. As opposed to sitting in mummies basement taking potshots at people who have accomplished something with their lives.

PRScott · ‎27-01-2022

Funny how some people just can't see the writing on the wall. The U.S. government isn't going to subsidize your love affair with oil forever. Like it or not for the average driver electric is the future, and it keeps getting closer.

PRScott · ‎21-01-2022

Yes and they are spoiling things for us poor folk!

PRScott · ‎20-01-2022

You did the math? Check the battery in your calculator !

PRScott · ‎20-01-2022

Lithium ion batteries are already being recycled and the infrastructure to recharge batteries is already there. Because of the demise of the incandescent light bulb most electric producers have excess capacity.

PRScott · ‎20-01-2022

Pure electric is the future for the masses particularly in the cities. We have a plug in hybrid which is great when used as an electric car. We have solar arrays so no impact on electric consumption. On gas it's a dog so it's only used for local trips. We use a diesel for longer trips or an Austin Healey for the pure joy of driving. At least while it's still allowed.

PRScott · ‎17-01-2022

Yes but I think even your car or truck has 4wheel brakes and that's somewhat more important than 2 drive wheels , if that's all you have. The new soft compound winter tires make a big difference . But you'd have to try them to find that out. Don't take my word for it.

PRScott · ‎15-01-2022

I disagree. Tom Brady is seriously talented. Reynolds not so much.

PRScott · ‎14-01-2022

You did get one thing right. Driving is a privilege. So be responsible and put 4(four) winter tires on that van and stop trying to justify not doing it!

PRScott · ‎14-01-2022

The alternator is engine driven and saps power from the engine when under load.

PRScott · ‎13-01-2022

Like Leno says, Put in a couple of years, $250,000 and before you know it you've got yourself a $100,000 car!!

PRScott · ‎12-01-2022

Boston! You southerners crack me up.

I didn't see anything I would want to be seen in.
